The brief

A study from the University of Hawai'i indicates the San Andreas Fault has reached its highest stress level in 1,000 years. The research suggests the system is critically stressed and that Southern California is close to a major earthquake.

Coverage from edhat and ABC7 Chicago highlights the concept of an "Earthquake Gate" which may determine the timing of the next major quake. Vajiram & Ravi provides background on the fault's location and formation.

Coverage does not yet specify when a major earthquake might occur or the exact mechanism of the "Earthquake Gate." Further details regarding the study's methodology are expected.
